I've had it since around then too and had to leave school at 13 because I became so ill I couldn't be around the crowded enviroment of a school and it was too tiring traveling to classes. Friends ditched me and I was left alone really. Became too ill to even have my curtains open and had to be in a darkened room at and at times my sight would just go. But because I could still talk I was obviously well enough to work I worked my ass off to be homed schooled only for 10 minutes a week and because I was so determind I done 3 exams and got top marks in them all. Not much to some but something as simple as being well enough to shower on my own was a huge acheivment.

Slowly over the years I've managed to get better mainly because of my animals because they are always there for me. I have lots but they are the reason for me being so well without them I'd probaly still be unable to write or move with pain. So insulting someone for having too many animals isn't right unless you know the circumstances behind them all.

You come a long way then, i've not had it that bad all at once mine i struggled through and then i'd end up in hospital for weeks and they'd have no idea why.

How the heck do you do that then???

They want people who are disabled back into work so you can work part time for a year while getting the wage. It's so people don't feel like they have no support from benefits if they aren't well enough in the end. It's a good idea but I don't think many people are aware of it sadly.

Thanks, but he gets low rate care component for Dysprxia which means we are not able to get carers allowance.

thats the crappy goverment for you.

I have a friend whos dad has terminal cancer, her mum cant claim carers from him even tho both have no money now bcause it has made them have to give up thier jobs

i honestly dont understand who makes up all the stupid rules for carers and disability allowence.

 

[CheekoAndCo]

I take my hat off to you hun.. you have worked very hard to become who you are now.. xxx

But I dont think I have insulted Sl and boyfriend for having to many animals.. my point was she has probs with scorcher and she may be best dealing with scorchers probs before she goes and gets another puppy that wil be more time energy.

Thanks. People seem to think I've magically got better etc but there's been months of tears and pain behind it all.

Cheeko had problems with other dogs but we got Blu. Some people would have frowned upon it (and still do) but it was actually better for him that we got a puppy because he's got over his problems that he had. Depends on the individual dog and circumstances I guess.

Yeah i know how you feel it's crap, the government don't really care about the people who are truly ill just more about stopping people from defrauding them, it's not fair.

I looked after Mother for years...had to give up most of my work...couldn't get the crap £40 odd carers allowance cos I was earning more than £70 with what little work I could do a week....big deal.

Very true Ive said about this on here before.. My mum.. had probs with her hands and feet... she couldn't feel her hands much and her feet had pore circulation too... But they made her go out to work.. she had always worked with her probs but they were getting worse.. so she went to work, the doc signed her off she passed an assessment for disability.. and got that.. a few months later a letter came making her go for another assessment.. the diff doc decided my mum was fit for work.. she went off to work again, became very poorly with her hands.. Was then sent for a scan and they decided her vertebrae was crushing the nerves to her hands in her neck and her feet in her legs.. I dont know all the correct terminology of it.. But basically her hands were like ice.. They decided to do an op on her.. even though she still isn't fit for work they still wont give her disability.. They removed bone from her pelvis and inserted it through the front of her neck pushing it into the vertebrae to lift her spine.. She now has 99% feeling in her hands and is waiting to have it done to the bottom of her back so she will get the same feeling with her feet..

That's horrible how can they be so stingy, i hope that things get better.

Thats life im afraid.. therefor if there is any way I can help people I will... My mum is fine most of the time.. has an automatic 4x4 has landed on her feet in other ways enjoys her life.. or I hope she does..

I know other people who get disability for absolutely nothing.. I also know a girl who was paid to be a carer for her mum...
She had 8 horses and ponies would arrive at the farm around 10 am and leave about 6.. now how was she caring for her mum??

So when you see things like that I suppose it puts a doubt in everyones mind..

I've heard of people getting it because they have acne and it gives them problems with confidence but then there was the likes of my grandad dying from lung cancer and asbestosis who could only get lower rate care He got hardly any carers either and was left to my dad and his sister to do everything in his last days

It's not a giant house but compared to the two bed terrace we lived in before it is.

It's only the price it is because someone died here!

 

[CheekoAndCo]

They would rather you moved those trees to the left because they are rather large to lift their legs on
